I just had a wonderful dinner with Joan_Alpern
She stopped in town on her way back up the coast and we went to a dark little dive for some excellent Italian cooking. We were joined by mr. swim who was very patient as we talked non-stop in DU lingo. mr. swim is a stranger to our customs here but not to our cause.

It was a treat! Thanks, Joani, for a marvelous evening! I'll see you around here and let's do this again in September!

:loveya:

3. You lucky guy!
Sounds like fun. Actually, I talked to Ms. Joani on her way to meet you for dinner, which was nice.

I'm looking forward to her trip out west this summer! :bounce:

12. A little bit better every day
So, I'm just taking it slowly (very slowly). I've got to get myself up to par for another DU march opportunity.
Oh, by the way, I love the picture you sent to EP of the three of us at the last march. It's absolutely terrific! :loveya:
